RottenPotatoes demo app: getting started

This app is associated with the free online course and (non-free) ebook Engineering Software as a Service.

To get started:

Setup a Cloud9 environment for the course.
In your Cloud9 terminal, type the following command to clone the repository to your development workspace:

git clone [email protected]:saasbook/rottenpotatoes-rails-intro.git

Then cd rottenpotatoes-rails-intro to change to the app's directory.
Run the command bundle install --without production to make sure all the gems (libraries) used by the app are in place.
Run bundle exec rake db:setup to create the initial database.
Run rails server -p $PORT -b $IP to start the app. Cloud9 will pop up a window showing the URL to visit in your browser to interact with the running app.
